Paleo Brownie Skillet for Two
Description
This recipe mixes dry ingredients of cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt before combining with a melt of dark chocolate and coconut oil. Coconut sugar and a room temperature egg are whisked in, then folded with the dry mix to create a thick and fudgy batter. Baked at 350°F in a greased mini skillet for 8 to 10 minutes, the brownie sets once small cracks appear on the surface but remains soft inside. Topping with mini chocolate chips adds texture and extra chocolate flavor.
Serving warm intensifies the flavorful, dense chocolate texture and pairs well with ice cream or fresh fruit. Its single-serving size makes it convenient for a quick dessert without leftovers.
A suggested coconut flour substitution is almond flour in equal amounts, though results may vary. Avoid overbaking to maintain the desired fudgy consistency.
